Russco is penalised for last week’s course and distance success and HEER’S SADIE can take advantage. The latter has improved for going handicapping with last month’s close-up third at Kempton suggesting her turn is not far away. This Ones For Fred posted a better effort upped to 1m2f on Turf last time but Valentinka is preferred in this while Case Of The Ex has plenty of scope on her handicap debut.
